Day two of our army-esq training camp started with the slow and arduous ascent out of Oxfordshire and into the Berkshire Downs. Unsurprisingly James was unable to join us after his accident the previous day (read the blog by Andy for a more in depth look into that).
This was possibly one of the most challenging [...]
I, like many of those who know this group, couldn’t believe that James Tracey’s (TB) accident was just that- an accident. There must be some other force at work.
Probably the most obvious (and likely!) force is that his bike was sabotaged by none other than his team mates, Matt and Peter. Are they jealous of [...]
It all started bright and early on the Thursday morning. After spending the night in the tent the previous night (through the wind, rain and god knows what else), it was up at 7 to get out on the bike. After an hour of “sorting things out” we were out on the road. To my [...]
I clearly expressed my views about the tour and its winner before it start – Andy Schleck. The man is unstoppable and for the first time in quite a while Contador looks beatable. Watch this space. This maillot jaune is on the young man’s shoulders at the moment; and it’s going to stay there.
Moving to [...]
I write this in what seems to be one of the most hectic weeks of training in a while. After finishing with the 400 hurdles for the time being, it seems that we are reaching the home straight (and hurdles 9 + 10) of the planning stage – i.e. we’re nearly there, just need a final [...]
A week has passed since I last wrote a very informative and world renowned blog. (We must thank Sir Tim Berners-Lee for this wonderful privilege as the great man (not a Great-Dane like Mr. Lego) created the World Wide Web (www) and therefore blogs… and some peoples lives- World of Warcraft and other fascinating online [...]
Sunday evening, and finally all of the mocks are over.. Though it took rather longer than I was hoping. Yesterday was the first time in quite a while that we managed to get on our bikes. When I say “we” here I only mean Matt and myself. James managed to (somehow or other) forget to [...]
…melted. Yep you’ve heard me right, I woke up this morning, and it was gone. All of it. Even my prized thoroughbred snowman. It does however mean that the drama of checking to see if school is on in the morning is no more. As I write this, I am reflecting on one of “Gods [...]
As you can see from the title, there was “Yet More Snow” which unfortunately meant no school again. I do not say “no school” sarcastically at all. (Like the rhyming there? Totally unintentional) For once I actually want to go the simple reason of getting the mocks ovAs you can see from the title, there [...]
I am privileged to have the honour of writing the first note, so here goes:
Snow. Wonderful stuff isn’t it. Unfortunately it had to snow today, the day we were due to start our mocks. Sod’s Law.
This time however, I was not stupid enough to go out on the bike, I did what every school boy [...]
